What is the formula for momentum?

Momentum = Force x Acceleration

Which of the following statements about momentum is true?

An object can only have momentum if it is moving.

An object can have momentum even if it is stationary.

The greater the momentum, the less force is needed to stop the object.

Momentum is only affected by velocity, not mass.

What happens when two bodies collide, and one has more momentum than the other?

The body with more momentum is least affected.

Both bodies are equally affected.

The body with less momentum is least affected.

Momentum is distributed equally between the two bodies.

How does greater momentum affect the force needed to stop or slow an object?

Greater momentum requires more force to stop or slow the object.

Greater momentum requires less force to stop or slow the object.

Momentum does not affect the force needed to stop or slow the object.

Momentum is inversely proportional to the force needed to stop or slow the object.

Which of the following best describes the role of impulse in momentum?

Impulse creates, changes, or stops momentum

Impulse decreases the mass of an object

Impulse increases the velocity of an object

Impulse reduces the acceleration of an object

What does the term "force" represent in the formula for impulse?

The object's mass multiplied by its acceleration

The object's velocity divided by time

The object's weight multiplied by gravity

The object's momentum divided by time

What happens when impulse is applied to an object at rest?

The object increases its acceleration but remains stationary

Which of the following is an example of stopping momentum using impulse?

A goalkeeper catching a soccer ball

A car accelerating on a highway

A person pushing a box across the floor

What does the impulse-momentum relationship suggest about catching a ball?

A smaller peak force over a longer time reduces the risk of injury.

A large peak force over a short time is always better.

The impulse-momentum relationship does not apply to catching a ball.

Both methods are equally effective regardless of the situation.

What is the relationship between the duration of force application and the impulse or change in momentum of an object?

The longer the force is applied, the greater the impulse.

The shorter the force is applied, the greater the impulse.

The duration of force application has no effect on impulse.

Impulse is only dependent on the mass of the object.

Which method in shot put is likely to generate the greatest impulse and why?

Rotation method, because it combines force and extended duration.

Standing shot put throw, because it uses less force.

Glide method, because it applies force for a longer duration.

None of the methods generate impulse.

What is the importance of impulse in impact or collision situations?

It allows manipulation of momentum to produce desired outcomes like speeding up or slowing down an object.

It helps in maintaining the speed of an object.

It prevents objects from colliding.

It increases the mass of the colliding objects.

What happens when tennis racquets have looser strings?

The ball stays on the racquet for longer, increasing power but decreasing control.

The ball stays on the racquet for less time, increasing power and control.

The ball stays on the racquet for longer, decreasing power and control.

The ball stays on the racquet for less time, decreasing power but increasing control.

What is the effect of tighter strings on a tennis racquet?

The ball stays on the racquet for less time, decreasing power but increasing control.

The ball stays on the racquet for longer, increasing power but decreasing control.

The ball stays on the racquet for less time, increasing power and control.

The ball stays on the racquet for longer, decreasing power and control.

How can force be increased to maximize momentum?

Through effective summation of force and improved strength

By reducing equipment modifications

By decreasing the time component

By increasing the distance traveled

What is one way to increase the time component to maximize momentum?

Through technique and equipment modifications

What is the purpose of drawing the bowstring back in sports like archery?

To increase the change in momentum of the arrow

To decrease the force applied to the arrow

To reduce the speed of the arrow

To shorten the distance the arrow travels

How does drawing the bowstring back affect the arrow's movement?

It ensures the arrow travels at greater speeds and covers larger distances

It ensures the arrow travels at slower speeds

It reduces the force applied to the arrow

It prevents the arrow from moving in a straight line

What happens when more time is allowed for the force of the bow to be applied to the arrow?

The arrow gains momentum and travels faster

The arrow travels shorter distances

What is a common method to reduce the momentum of an object?

Apply a large peak force over a short period

When a cricket ball is hit towards a fielder, what is the goal of the fielder in terms of momentum?

Reduce the ball's momentum to zero

Which method is more likely to be successful in catching a cricket ball?

Applying a small peak force over a longer period

Creating a large peak force over a short period

What is the primary function of the foam inside running shoes according to the impulse-momentum relationship?

Newton's law of universal gravitation.

Why would an elasticised rope be more beneficial than a non-elastic rope in reducing an individual's momentum to zero during a bungee jump?

An elasticised rope increases the time over which the force is applied, reducing the impact.

An elasticised rope decreases the time over which the force is applied, increasing the impact.

A non-elastic rope increases the time over which the force is applied, reducing the impact.

A non-elastic rope decreases the time over which the force is applied, increasing the impact.
